A slick article from AP on a few of our colleagues:

“Today’s librarians are using Web sites, e-mail, text messages and more to create an international community of like-minded library workers. They’re challenging perceptions and redefining themselves as fierce defenders of free speech who make activism part of the job.”

“Jessamyn West, an Americorp volunteer at libraries in Vermont, might be the quintessential radical librarian working to protect free and open access to information.”
